There may not be a formal memo announcing lockstep bonuses, but that doesn’t mean the associates at Gibson Dunn have been left out in the cold. As is their usual tradition, the firm gives out individualized bonuses communicated to associates in private review meetings. As is also their usual tradition, the amounts appear to track along the market bonus — with extra cash for particularly high performers.
As one tipster noted:
Gibson is matching Cravath plus the usual bumps for high performers. They don’t do formal bonus announcement or memo – never have. Associates find out individual bonus in a private review meeting.
